A Quick Note For My Readers: Back in 2013, I wrote a ‘blip’ about a game called Read Only Memories. I missed this small post during my initial sweep last summer of posts I wrote that needed disclosure, but it’s been brought to my attention today, so I’m updating it with that information.

That;s because you are looking at it like it's a typical video game. It sounds more like live event. Kinda like a game show. Maybe like Nick arcade. people will play to see how far they can get in it. It doesn't sound like something that's meant to be "completed" just played. If it were a stand alone game you could…
No, this is not a valid instance of "what about the menz!"
Chest protectors/boob cups for sport fencing are different from what folks would wear for actual with-sharp-things trying to kill you fighting or shooting at you fighting. Protective gear used in sport fencing is meant to protect you from nasty bruises. Also because getting hit in the boob by a foil/saber/épée blade…
Now playing
Um, they're everywhere.
Have you even looked at this game? The male character models are incredibly diverse. They're everything from an ascetic, skinny monk to a hulking gorilla.
Is it going to kill you if I point out that you just made a *gasp* feminist argument about how gender norms also affect men?
"This character kind of appeals to me. But it also appeals to people who aren't me, and who originally asked for this character. This angers me, greatly."
Morrigan is a fictional character, as are succubi. She can be interpreted in any way.
Nonsense. We are all just greedy quacks in league with the drug company and getting rich off ASP + 6. I am personally helping to hide several "cures" so that I can keep giving ineffectual or palliative treatment forever because God knows there is no way I could make money off an actual cure for cancer.
That's cynical. And dumb, since "surmise with certainty" is a self-contradictory phrase.
As an oncologist, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for such a well-written explanation of why this stuff drives us crazy.
Listen son, pokemon's no game, I'll tell you what. There I was, alone in pitch black Nam. It was the Devil's birthday in Cambodia, and I was bare-assed and hopped up on some jungle mushroom.
Considering the anime is the source for Ash, that's not really what happens. They seem to be in a kind of stasis in the ball, he treats them like family, and they get more food then Ash does on a regular basis. Also, he's a kid, doing what every adult ever has done or tells him to do. Maybe if he ever grows up you can…
You can't be THAT unfortunate if you have time to BS on a koataku forum...I mean really...
Certainly, Brian. And it's worth considering how our relative perceptions of status paint depictions like this. I absolutely agree that the intent appears to have been to present an Upper Class vs Lower Class comparison of common upward mobility. I'm glad you shared it. :)
Actually, they do wake up poor as this comic showed.
I grew up in a situation somewhat similar to that portrayal, and I wouldn't say we were poor.
To be honest, that looks more like the difference between Rich and Lower Middle Class.
While I don't agree that your future is solely dependent on money (having a parent who makes time and gives a shit is worth way more), it does an interesting job of commenting on class divisions in Japan—and beyond.
